        1. Over 90% of the people who want to be at Princeton don’t get to be at Princeton.
        2. Our campus is fucking beautiful, and if you think otherwise, you’ve been spoiled and could never survive in the dorms of the state school most of my friends went to and that I thought I’d be going to.
        3. Our professors are mindblowingly brilliant.
        4. Our school color isn’t brown.
        5. there are so many people in the world whose lives actually are miserable as hell and who will never even get a high school education, much go to Princeton.
